"This work will be of great value in ecology and conservation science. Invasive species are a severe and exponentially growing problem of the environment, and one difficult even to characterize, much less contain."--Edward O. Wilson, author and scientist "Second only to habitat loss mixed with climate disruption, invasive species represent the next most serious threat to biodiversity. "The Encyclopedia of Biological Invasions," written by an impressive group of experts, now makes available to conservation biologists, managers, decision makers, and concerned citizens a comprehensive single source of this key topic."--Paul R. Ehrlich, co-author of "The Dominant Animal" "This magnificent collection of well-selected essays will immediately become a standard guide to understanding one of the key biological problems of our times. With contributions from virtually every active participant, and thus collectively telling the story of biological invasion well; such invasions pose severe threats to the survival of biological diversity and are a complicating factor in virtually every human activity based on maintaining or managing the functioning of biological systems. This book belongs in every biological library and will be an asset to many individuals in their work, whether fundamental science or the many practical applications associated with invasion, its management and control."--Peter H. Raven, President, Missouri Botanical Garden "This volume brings an extraordinarily useful and authoritative compilation of our current knowledge on biological invasions. The invasion biology research area is undergoing explosive development and thus this encyclopedia is timely, bringing a single source of information, by leading experts, in a well-organized, beautifully illustrated, and thoughtfully produced format. No doubt this work will stimulate further progress, and integration, in this critical but complex research area."--Harold Mooney, Stanford University
